She Speaks

She Speaks is a flagship project of the Aambra Foundation. It was
conceptualized to give a voice to issues relating to women and
celebrate their strength and success. We invite accomplished and
inspiring men and women from different walks of life to share
their stories of success, struggle and challenges and present case
studies.

Across centuries and continents, especially in South Asia, a
woman’s voice has remained stifled due to socio-economic,
politico-religious and other factors. There is a viciousness in the
name of family honour/shame and so on that prevents women
from openly talking about their troubles. She Speaks hence
endeavours to give a voice to the silent sufferings of these women.

SEMINARS

Through our seminars, we ensure that their voice is heard through a broad spectrum of society. We encourage and
facilitate a dialogue between the panelists, participants and the audience. We have been actively engaged in helping women gain employment through various workshops. Women living in slums and victims of abuse attend and benefit from what they learn.

STRATEGIES

Panelists are drawn from the government, media, art
& culture, NPOs, politics, corporate, policy makers, civil society,
banking, writers, authors and journalists. An attempt is made to
present a unique case study in every edition. Not only is the case
study analyzed but also the solutions to the problems are
deliberated and discussed. Eminent policy makers on board plan
the road ahead for redressal and eradication of the problem.
Realising the need for a balance between the works of fiction and non-fiction, we created ‘Writers Nook’ - a platform for established
and debut authors from around the globe to share, read, review
and launch their works.

SOLUTIONS

Most of our daily lives are fraught with challenges of
different kinds. However, there is one challenge faced by women
alone at some stage of their lives – the problem of gender
disparity! We at Aambra Foundation believe in helping women
face these problems. We aid in bringing their concerns to the
public eye, discussing them and reaching reliable resolutions.
Writers Nook builds a bridge for books that cannot be classified as
complete fact or fiction.

FUTURE PLANS

Working towards a society free from abuse, we
plan to map and document the findings of our research, dialogues
and discussions to present a white paper to the Ministry of Women
& Child Development. On March 8, 2019, She Speaks would
complete three incredible years since its inception, which is when
we plan to present the paper. Gender sensitization, policy,
advocacy and empowerment will continue to be our principal
goals. With Writers Nook, we hope to create more space for these
writers to voice their works in the days to come.

OUR AIM

She Speaks is our dialogue with everyone, men and women both.
One of the biggest challenges that half of the world population or women face is – Gender disparity. We at AAMBRA Foundation believe that healthy discussions surrounding the various forms of abuse will help sensitise communities. We create and facilitate a dialogue not only amongst various stake holders of women empowerment but also amongst various communities.
We are building this dialogue with student community through our campaigns and contests. Student Zone – #Have Your Say contest with Cash Award incentivisation. And our gender quiz during every She Speaks where correct answers win prizes.

MILESTONES

Staying perfectly on target, we have so far completed five fantastic
editions of the She Speaks seminars with the sixth seminar slated
for March 8, 2018. These editions have been great milestones in
our journey.
